Southgate Man Charged With Two Counts of Assault With A Weapon

Police arrested the 66-year-old Southgate man who was transported to the Chatsworth OPP Detachment pending a bail hearing scheduled for January 11, 2018.

The accused is charged with two counts of Assault with a Weapon and two counts of Utter Death Threats.
